Now on Wide World of Sports, the Sunday Carve-Up. They used to sponsor me when I boxed many years ago, but not anymore, so... Still get free stuff then? No, I don't. Buy stuff offline, online. Offline. He buys stuff offline. Imagine you're standing at the foot of the tallest mountain in the world, base camp at Mount Everest, listening to us. Good on him.
Obviously love their footy. They should get the Nepalese, the guys that carry the... Sherpas. Sherpas. Make sure they're tuning in as well all the time. Mate, they wouldn't understand us. Yes, they would. They love their footy over there. We're big. Mate, they speak another language. We're big over there. We're massive. Huge. That's where they make the ice cream. What? Napolitano. Neapolitan. You're an idiot.
I crack myself up sometimes. So Harry turned 10 on Friday and he had his birthday party, but one envelope from one of his friends, he's opened it and he goes, Dad, look, had a 50 in it. Oh, stop. And then I went back into the kitchen. He goes, oh, Dad, there's something else in this envelope. And I said, what is it? And he goes, they're lotto tickets. And I've gone...
I said, hang on, I'll be out in a second. I went out there. There were two scratchies. How'd he go? He's 10. You can't. Anyway, I taught him how to play and he won three. Oh, God. I was sitting with Harry watching Williams football last Saturday. Started the game, kicks off my William, tackles, I make a few tackles, I get the ball back. William runs and scores a try, first try. What do you think Harry said to me? He said, geez, Dad, he would have paid a bit for first try scorer. LAUGHTER
I swear, I looked at him, I went, that's my boy. That's where your money's going. What have you made of Rabbits and all this talk about him coming out of retirement for one more? I'll tell you what I make of it, right? And I'll tell you how this all came about. Rabbits said, look, this stuff that gets written about me, I know nothing about. It's just ridiculous. Of course I wasn't coming back having retired three years ago. And the people that put it out there need to be really ashamed of themselves publishing it all. His son Mark put it on social media. LAUGHTER
That's how it started. Mark Warren put it on social media. I said, the Rabs, you're blaming all the journalists for having you wheeled out. Mark put it on social media. Let's get the Rabbits back for one more game. I didn't know that. I must talk to the kids. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-
Who sings it? Pavarotti. Let's leave it that way. Thank you. No, that's the name of the song, you idiot. It takes more effort to chew a crust than it does a sandwich in the middle. You said it takes more effort to chew. It does. I don't think you've ever been worried about effort in chewing. That's the one thing you haven't been worried about. I'm conserving my energy. You have something for lunch and you go, phew, that was a big chew. LAUGHTER
That's a more bite force. Give me some skin. Yes. Wow, that was a big chew today, Beverly. Stiggy Riddell has set a new world record for the least amount of steps. In half a day. Half a day, he's done 893. I'll double that by the time I get down on the sideline. Bruce is first up in Cronulla. Hello, Bruce. G'day, mate. How you going? Good, thank you, mate. How many steps today, buddy? 397. Oh, man.
Hello, Martin. What if I'm showing me 136? What if you do that just waking up? What's Tony at Puka's got? Hello, Tony. I'm 93. 93 steps. You sound way younger. Oh, you mean the steps? Wendy at Rydalby. Hello, Wendy. Yes, I can beat that. I got 88 steps today. LAUGHTER
We'll snag one more in. Surely Wendy wins at 88. Paul at Castle Hill. G'day, Paul. Yeah, 63 today. 63? Got up this morning, had a shower. The wife started yelling at me, so I went and sat in the car. Been here for about four and a half hours. Jeez, you've done a few, Brainy. 17,000. 17,000 yesterday. 10,700. Jeez, you'd think you'd look a bit better doing all those steps. Oh, my God.
I'm pleased to report that the continuous call team now has Gal the Pigeon. I was actually a little bit concerned it was going to be real. That's why I'm standing up. Mate, that's a real pigeon. It's just one that's been stuffed. Is that legal? It's Gal the Pigeon. Is that legal? Yes, of course it's legal. I don't think it is. How did they get rid of everything inside its guts? Just scoop it out and stuff it. Tyrell Slime was a special guest on the
continuous call team. While organising it on the Friday night, Chris, the Dragons media manager, asked Tyrell Sloan if he'd like to do an interview with the continuous call team. Tyrell replied, who's it with? He said, Mark Levy, Daryl Broman, Paul Gallen and Flanno. Jaden Sewer butted in. Daryl Broman, is he the one that sings We'll Be Riding On The Horses? Yeah. LAUGHTER
Zach Lomax, he chimed in with, that's Daryl Braithwaite, you idiot. He's got no idea who you are. I did push strongly for him for state of origin selection, Jason. We're all aware, well, that's a ceasing as it may. So you're going to cut him from a winning side, going to cut him.
Yep. Well, let's find out if that's exactly what happened. Tyrell Sloan's online right now. This can't be true, Tyrell. Seriously. So, Tyrell, did you know who he was? Oh, yeah, I know. I know a big man. I said straight away off the footy show. Like, oh, come on. Fair enough, fair enough. He's become a little bit of a... Mate, when you speak to Sewer, well-named, by the way... LAUGHTER
Let him know he's lost my support. Tyrell, just on those team meetings Flanagan talks about, does he still use the word wood duck and things like that? Well, he is a wood duck, Tyrell. Well, there you go. He's calling you a wood duck. Oh, Tyrell's hung up. He knows when not to comment. Here's a high kick. It's going to go deep down the throat of the wing three-quarter. And taking it over there is...
Alei Malo and he's put to the ground. Yeah, Alei Malo did a really good job there. What a handful he's going to be. Here they come again. Bullers down the touchline. He goes away on the outside to Alei Malo and he's put to the ground. Taken there again by Alei Malo.
